I have a problem… I have always liked the classic look of the adidas skate shoe line and was hooked after my first pair back in 2007. Since I recently got back into
skating after several years away from the sport, I’ve tried the Busneitz Pro and ADV shoe, and felt confident I had found a supportive shoe I wouldn’t stray from.
Until now.
I heard about adidas putting BOOST™ foam in their running shoes, and then in their latest snowboard energy BOOST™ boot; supposedly the BOOST™ foam has superior cushioning, is incredibly durable, and can withstand extreme temperatures (hot and cold). Now, I’m not much more than a novice skater these days, but I have to say the cushioning of the BOOST™ foam in these shoes really makes a difference.
After an hour-long skate sesh of bowl, some street, and small drops (3 to 4 ft), my feet and heels felt good. So now I am a BOOST™ believer!
The style took awhile for me to warm up to, but this shoe is packed with tech that makes it a blast to skate in. The adidas ADV BOOST™ skate shoe is not inexpensive; it’s on the higher end of the spectrum, so if you can find them for under $100, you’re lucky. If you’re interested in comfort and impact protection, this is a great shoe if you can afford to pay the premium price.
Pros
- lightweight
- supportive
- comfortable
- your foot feels locked in with their tech fit liner
Cons
- aesthetics could be better, but it’s a functional shoe!
- shoe laces too long, easily fixed!
- pricey

How to fix length of the shoe lace?
I would suggest either getting shorter shoe laces (around 30-35 inches) or simply cut the current laces down to the desired length.
